impressions on shanghai auto show

This weekend passed so different from the usual. I was in shanghai for an event. I think most of you are aware of that event. Yeah it was shanghai 2009 auto show. Before going to shanghai international exhibition center and saw the cars with my own eyes, I had seen the autos on the papers and on the net. Except some unusual and good-looking cars, other cars were normal and can be seen on the streets in our daily life. Even I can dare to say that after leaving from the car exhibition, I saw some good-looking sport cars in front of the main gate of the exhibition center. I expected to see more luxurious and showy sport and jeep style cars but I just saw a lot of Chinese brand cars. Unfortunately I visited there at the weekend and there were a huge crowd of people. It was very difficult to close the cars. They already placed on the same section the high-quality and luxury cars like Ferrari, Jaguar, Lamborghini Land Rover and so on. Apart from the foreigners, thousands of Chinese came to visit to see such cars. they got their camera and came to take pictures of cars. I couldn't even close the such cars because of the peoples who try to take pictures of the cars and models. :) I couldn't even take a picture before Ferrari and other cars. Ferrari, Lamborghini and most of luxury cars were cordoned off and let alone to touch they didn't let to people even close to them. They were right to do so but I still didn't like it. People circled the cars and were taking pictures. I tried to to take a picture of Lamborghini but I couldn’t do it because of the crowded.
I want to say that I have never seen so many DSL camera until that day. Almost everybody have such DSLR (digital single lens reflex) cameras. Who? Me? Oh I just have a digital camera which has a charge problem. I charge it for several hours but it takes only less than an hour. So seeing so many DSLR cameras really made me so upset. :(( But it is ok coz I want to get professional camera as soon as I save enough money.
So I must admit that not only couldn’t take good and nice pictures because of the inferior quality of my camera, but also because of the crowded, I regretted to visit the fair. If I live in Shanghai I think I would not regret it but I live in another province and went from there only to visit that fair. That is craziness indeed. If a Chinese couple didn’t help me after getting out of the metro, it would be so difficult to find the place. Fortunately they also headed for fair and have showed me the way. And I almost couldn't find a ticket so I could enter, Thank God they let me to enter with the ticket belonging to another date. I wish I visited there at weekdays, it might not be so crowded. In spite of everything, I can say that I got a bit experience about fairs, so it is ok. Next time I will do better with a good timing. :)) haha
I actually only two years ago didn't interest in cars and motors. They didn't raise my curiosity at all because I couldn't drive a car, I still can’t drive but today I have a dream to buy my own car one day, and I try to find a way to get driving license at once. Most of people around me have driving license and that makes me so upset coz I don't have it yet.
When I said to some Chinese about that visiting, they always asked me if I think to buy a new car. Let alone to buy a new one, I don't even have an old one. :( Chinese people always think we foreigner have a lot of money, but that s not true of course. There are also some poor foreigner like me. J ahaha I don't have to buy a car for now but I hope to buy a good one one day. I saw a lot of cars which already sold out like the GMC I like. It seemed an expensive one but already sold out too.
After looking around the car sections, I went to the areas which exhibited the spare parts of autos. In those parts there were a few people and most of them were foreigner. So I could browse around those parts so smoothly. There were a lot of foreigners from various countries like Turkey India USA German African countries and so on.... Yeah I saw some Turkish businessmen too but unfortunately there weren’t any Turkish brand car and company. I am depressed about that case but I can’t help it too, perhaps one day I will do it, I will establish a huge car company named AG motor, who knows. In God I trust! :)) By the way AG motor can be a good name hih? :) ahaha
It has taken almost more than five hours to look around the exhibition area. When I got out from the center, it was almost five pm and I was exhausted so much. On the top of the main gate of the center, 2011 shanghai auto show was announced. I think I will be there in 2011 too if God willing.
